I purchased LG GP57EB DVD Burner which claims to be M-disc compatible. I also
purchased 2 boxes Verbatim M-disc Bdr 25gb 5pk to use for trials. Both
mail-orders arrived recently.

I tried the new burner with ordinary DVD using brasero SW. It created
small data DVD without any issues. I created 21.2 GiB .iso with brasero also
without any issues.

When I asked brasero to burn it and presented one M-disc in the burner it
responded with "Please replace the disc with a supported CD or DVD". Search
results for “M-disc” in brasero help returned: 'No matching help pages found
in “Brasero Help”.

I also tried k3b with the same .iso. It asked for a disc, played a bit with
inserted M-disc and then stopped, still asking for "an empty Blu-Ray medium"

So far no success but also no coaster...

Any advice what to try next would be appreciated.
